More Italy match-fixing revelations?

Italy's chief of police Antonio Manganelli has promised further revelations on
match-fixing in Italian football are imminent.
And he says it would be "unthinkable'' to offer an amnesty to those involved
in corruption.

Atalanta began the current season on minus six points after being implicated in
the "Calcioscommese'' match-fixing scandal, while their former captain
Cristiano Doni was banned for three-and-a-half years.

And Manganelli told Gazzetta Dello Sport: "The investigations into illegal
betting in the world of football continues, soon there will be further news.

"The phenomenon involves criminal and civil justice, but it is unthinkable to
speak of pardons for those who have committed offences.

"There will be more news soon, data and results, because the investigations
are continuing and this involves the acquisition of new elements, but it is
unthinkable to talk about amnesty.

"We can get match-fixing out of the game but we need to understand that those
who commit crimes are not pardoned by the criminal justice.''

A previous match-fixing investigation, the 2006 "Calciopoli'' affair, saw
Juventus relegated from Serie A and stripped of their titles from 2005 and 2006,
and also brought points deductions for AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Reggina
for the 2006-07 season.

Manganelli continued: "The phenomenon of football betting is of no small
importance in Italy. This aspect is now a very special focus of attention: we
have already identified match-fixing and the involvement of members, we're still
finding more.

"There is still much to be done, but it is working great. We must realise
there is sports justice and criminal justice, and both are working and will
work. It is unthinkable to talk about amnesty.''
